Why read it?
1 author picked Trust Exercise as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Full disclosure: we are both theatre kids, so we appreciated this look at an incestuous and often toxic high school drama department.

It’s told from the perspectives of three different characters who view the events (and each other) very differently, and who force the reader to question what’s real. It’s a beautiful, dark, onion with a lot of layers and a lot of humor. And a pretty smart look at the trauma caused by problematic relationships.
From Carrie's list on feminist perspectives, coming-of-age, and humor.
